    Someone is selling hub steps for deuces in the classifieds. Do they serve a function or are they only for show?

    Is a Deuce a redneck truck?

    Just another example of small minds stereotyping to avoid the mental gymnastics of actually learning about people. Some people like to look at differences rather than similarities. Stereotyping is a key component to racism. Weak minds. Hitler was a prime example.

    Suggestions Wanted! Your Input Is Welcome!

    Whenever someone is discussing their particular MV by designation I do not always know what vehicle or piece of equipment they are talking about. For instance I don't know what a M105A2 is or an M60a1. It would be very helpful if I could match up the number designation with the actual picture or...

    This is a very good site and cudo's to all that work on it. I have tried to find different threads using your search engine and have been unable to find what I was looking for. Perhaps a more intuitive search engine would be in order. Keep up the good work guys.

    You have the right idea. Also doubles as a hand warmer on those cold drives.

    New member needs Deuce advice

    Fill the bed with loam and plant flowers in it. Then you can call it a mobile flower pot. In the winter when the flowers die back and the loam hardens to a solid mass you will have more weight to maneuver in the deep snow.

    Will a Greenlee punch get through the thick steel on the deuce?

    installing cargo tie-downs inside deuce bed

    How about drilling a small weep hole to the bottom of the tie down to solve the water issue.

    installing cargo tie-downs inside deuce bed

    Have you thought of using a magnetic drill press fitted with a hole saw to cut the holes? You can use your free hand to apply cutting oil while you cut the hole.

    17 Deg F. Startup

    North You can have those Florida mosquitos and hurricanes. I will take the colors of Autumn and the deep snows of the great northern wilderness. Tracking moose on snowshoes or the tree sap crackling in the dead of winter. Waterfalls swelling from the rains of spring. That is for me.:cookoo:

    17 Deg F. Startup

    I have read page 2-84 in the TM 9-2320-361-10 and will try again using these instructions today. It is +5 deg F. Okay, I successfully started my 5-ton dump this morning using the approved cold start method stated in the above technical manual. It took five 10 second bursts using the starter in...

    17 Deg F. Startup

    Good point green jeepster. I bought the 750 watt water pump heater so perhaps that will suffice. Western Maine gets pretty cold so I'll find out when I get there I guess. MikeOn--- Cranking the starter with the manifold heater on wasn't doing it. I was wasting battery juice and taxing the...

    17 Deg F. Startup

    I own a 5 ton multifuel dump whistler with an LDS engine. It has been sitting in my back yard for about 2 months without me starting it. Today the temperature is 17 Degrees F. and I wanted to see if it would start up in the cold. I began by engaging the manifold heater for about one minute and...

    What do you use to clean off your engine?

    I use a "Hotsy" electric powered oil fired hot water pressure washer and use their recomended bio-degradradable washer solution. The beauty about the system is that you can buy all types of wands for different applications and they have quick release couplings as well as adjustable spray nozzles...
